2003: 92 Points - Josh Raynolds, Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellars: "Medium red. Ripe red fruit, flowers and spices on the nose, with a smoky nuance emerging with aeration; very fresh for this notoriously hot vintage. Concentrated but not at all heavy, with intense red berry and floral pastille flavors and a deeper note of singed plum. The finish is bright and high-pitched, with lingering cherry and raspberry flavors and a hint of candied licorice."

Wine maker notes

This wine has evolved perfectly showing a deep ruby colour with shades of orange. Its nose is persistent, full bodied and showing a lot of mature fruit, being dominated by the Tempranillo grape. Its taste is round, smooth, fresh, full of body and persistent.

Technical notes

The harvest took place with very good weather lasting 21 days and we finished on October 29th. The average alcohol was 13.64% for the red grapes of Viña Bosconia. This shows the good maturation of the fruit and even a bit higher than the average for Rioja Alta. These wines have developed a great balance and will be able to be bottle aged, improving even more.
